China v America: who is in charge? | The Economist
Global leadership has been missing during the covid-19 pandemic. While President Trump has been pulling America out of global organisations like the WHO, China is seeking to increase its international influence, creating a shift in the world order.

China will not be in charge until dollar domination ends.

 

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

The US and India are COWARDS will not dare to challenge China.

If China wants to do that, it needs to create some kind of hegemony. Other than Pakistan it doesn't have any real allies. That is why China always will remain a local power bullying theie neighbors and lands it occupies. I dont think US is really worried.

Believe me, we Chinese only cares about making more money, getting rich and making the country wealthy and powerful, we have zero interest in taking US's role as the police of the world.

So why does it occupy East Turkestan, parts of Mongolia and Tibet. Recently China occupied some Indian territory.

And why India occupy Goa, Sikkim and Kashmir?

Those regions have been part of the Chinese empire since the 17th century before the US was even a country.

Anyways, the US still has systemic domination because of the US dollar and because China has not sufficiently advanced technologically ahead of the US.

The only way that China could replace the USA as the economic leader of the world is if the USA becomes as fascist (fascism = national socialism) as China. That is, if the USA drifts to national socialism with one-party government/military controlling corporations to the extent that private investors can no longer invest in a market that is quasi free, therefore, not rigged for the benefit of party members. Right now, investors have the alternative of investing in western assets that are not totally controlled by governments. Investment in Chinese assets is always a gamble if you are not a CCP member. The catch is that internal political forces in the USA are pushing it steadfastly to national socialism. If they succeed, then China's lack of dependable rule of law may be moot. No one will have the protection of a rule of law. If it becomes a contest for world dominance among two or more fascist powers, probably the imminent possibility of nuclear Armageddon will be a weight on the world's economy. It won't matter in which currency your mortgage is denominated if the doomsday clock is at 11:59:55.

Funny to hear that. American government had halted many investments from China. American government even kicked out Chinese companies from its stock market.

How long Americans can keep using same words as democracy... human rights..freedom bla bla? CIA need to come up with more creative buzz words its getting old lol.

Usa enjoy democracy at home but last 70 years it supported hundreds of dictators around the world.

How about killing hundreds of thousands in middle east in the name of war on terror.

China's rise is a good counter balance. Multi polar world will be good for humanity.

Generally agree but democratic governments are just as or more likely to use nukes

Trump is the most Chinese US president ever haha

Democratic countries are more dangerous than non democratic countriies. Leaders of democratic countries have to please normal people. 80% normal people are irratable, short sighted, dumb, greedy. See how Modi acted after China-India border clash. Meanwhile Xi Jinping is very calm and watching the clown shows.
